<maestrojed> saml did you get it figured out>
* pingu9 has quit (Ping timeout: 244 seconds)
<saml> maestrojed, no.. to me, 100x100 pixel image is 100x100 pixel everywhere.. it might appear smaller or larger depending on display's dpi
<maestrojed> saml one dot does equal one pixel. Its about how many dots or pixels fit in one inch.
<saml> yah .. i think we're saying the same thing
<maestrojed> saml we are not
<maestrojed> an image is encoded in pixels and dip
<maestrojed> dpi
<saml> 100x100 pixel is 100x100 pixel
<oojacoboo> dpi = printing
<saml> oh i see
<saml> lol oojacoboo
<maestrojed> no you are missing a variable
<saml> you should tweet that
<oojacoboo> pixel density = screen version of dpu
<oojacoboo> dpi*
<maestrojed> dpi != printing
<saml> pixel is pixel
<maestrojed> I disagree
<maestrojed> On a retina display a pixel is much much smaller then on a non retina display
<saml> i doubt images have dpi
<saml> maybe as metadata
<maestrojed> saml I know that they do
<saml> dpi is about display device
<maestrojed> do you want help or not
<saml> you are just wrong..
<maestrojed> Ok, go for it then
<saml> i checked jpeg , png, bmp spec.. dpi is a "metadata"
<maestrojed> I promise you, you are very wrong
<oojacoboo> dpi is not for screens
<oojacoboo> it's for printing
<maestrojed> oojacoboo wrong.
<oojacoboo> not wrong
<maestrojed> oojacoboo retina displays have a different dpi
<oojacoboo> they have pixel density
<oojacoboo> not dpi
<saml> retina display is not image
<maestrojed> what the fuck do you think dpi is
<oojacoboo> dots per inch
